Brando was silent for a moment. Levin Onesson asked him to recommend Antitina to the throne, in fact, to give the North and South aristocrats a chance to sit down again and discuss the future and future of the kingdom. Because Antitina is the missing bloodline of the Sifah royal family, once Brando makes this proposal, she must first prove the legitimacy of her succession to the throne to the noble council. As a branch of the Westfah royal family, the northern nobles also have reasons to participate and witness all this, and may be happy to see a succession of a descendant of the Westfah royal family taking over the throne of Eruin.
In this way, the aristocracy of the South and the North may use parliament instead of war to end the long-lasting dispute in Eruin since the bizarre death of Obergus VII.
Levin Onesson knew the nature of politicians, and once they sat down and started arguing, the opportunity to resort to swordsmen almost disappeared.
But Brando did not intend to do so.
He first repeated to Freya what the eldest son of the king had written to them, and then said: "Although the method of the eldest son of the king can avoid civil war and division for a time, Eruin will return In the era when Obergus VII lived, the nobles of the corpse-bit vegetarian meal were still decaying the foundations of the kingdom like worms. No matter how good we papered it, it is difficult to guarantee Eru’s second luck. If this goes on, it will one day. It will collapse."
Freya nodded. As a person who has been pursuing the ideals of Her Royal Highness and Brando, she can best understand what Eruin the two ideals is like-it may be far away, but it is definitely not. It looks like this now.
She asked softly, "So Brando, what are you going to do?"
"I have an idea," Brando thought for a moment, and replied: "What Eluin needs is not the rules and order set by a certain powerful man. I can protect the kingdom today, but I can't It shelters it from day to day, and the subjects of the kingdom always have to choose their own path and destiny."
"There used to be many kings in this ancient kingdom. The Sifah family and the Corkova family have taken turns ruling it for nearly a thousand years. Both families have deep prestige. Today, Princess Griffin and Her Royal Highness Levin understand the righteousness. , In that case, why can't Elu have two or more people who decide its fate?"
Freya was taken aback, her eyes widened and said: "Brando, you mean...?"
"Haruze has no intention of the throne, so let Princess Griffin, Her Royal Highness Levin, and Antitina unite to form the Three Kings Council, and then re-elect members from the current aristocratic council to participate in this council together. Each represents the will of the three ancient families, the Sifah royal family, the Corkova royal family, and the local nobles. The royal family and the nobles made a sacred oath to jointly control the destiny of Eruin. They said that they would wait for each other. If you break this oath, then it will be spurned by everyone."
"But this... is it really okay?" Freya asked in a daze. The suggestion Brando put forward was a bit beyond her imagination, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not infeasible.
Brando did not immediately answer, whether this parliamentary system is good or bad is not necessarily obvious today. But it can first end Eluin’s long-standing crisis of disputes and divisions. More importantly, it is to plant a seed in people’s hearts so that they are used to discussing and determining the kingdom’s destiny together, rather than sheltering the kingdom’s future. Under a powerful lord or king.
And one day, this seed will take root in Elu, and transition from aristocratic politics to civilian politics. Only at that time can the ideal of the first king Eke be realized.
Of course, Brando never thought of doing it overnight. At least for the moment, the noble lords and royal family of Eruin still need great power. It's just that this kind of power cannot be single-minded. It needs checks and balances. Tripartite parliaments and even four-party parliaments are the best means of checks and balances. As long as Eluin can sustain the disaster that the entire Vaughan faced together, then this agreement between the nobleman and the royal family will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Freya lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy, Brando... The royal party will not agree. They have been in business for many years, and the Corcovado royal family finally mastered the south. If you want to show your ambitions through the royal family, how can you allow others to divide the cake?"
After becoming a qualified commander, Freya's knowledge is not what it used to be, and she pointed out the key to the problem at a glance.
Brando shook his head disdainfully: "The royal ambitions used to be very lofty, but most of them have now deteriorated because of the lack of supervisors. In addition to a few people such as Overwell and Macaro, they also Who is adhering to the ideal of the first king Eke? Those who don't compromise will eventually become greedy without compromise. They can't even tolerate me, let alone the Three Kings Council?"
"That..." Freya puzzled.
"No change is smooth, Freya," Brando silently folded the letter between Haruze and the princess, and then handed it to the Valkyrie: "You take my meaning back. , Tell Princess Griffin, she will understand what to do."
There have been countless people who have shed blood and sacrificed for Eru. Now, it is finally the turn of the nobles of the kingdom on the guillotine. As the descendants of the ancient nobles who the first emperor Eke promised to lead his people forward, they must use blood to prove themselves today. Legality.
"This may be the last time I change Eruin's destiny, and it must be the most thorough one," Brando continued when he handed the letter to Freya, "I left the kingdom with the changes after the change. The White Lion Corps, Valhalla’s fleet, has brought back the Lionheart Sword and the White Lion Guard of the prince. Eruin will continue to expand south in the future. One day, it may become the hegemony of the empire. I believe it 'S fate has changed."
"Brando?" Freya was taken aback: "Are you leaving us?"
Brando shook his head: "No, I'm not going anywhere, Freya. But you have to understand that Valhalla's power cannot always affect Eruin. Do you understand? What I want to establish is not Relying on the puppet under me, it is a kingdom with free will. If I act today, I can even completely uproot Eruin’s noble power, but it doesn’t make sense, because people will only remember this moment. The shadow under the power trembles under my rule. I can decide my words and deeds, but I cannot decide the words and deeds of everyone in this ruling class. There will always be people who will run wild under the guise of my name. The kingdom is useless."
"I am not a qualified politician, but I know who it is. I will appoint the three of them to pave the way for their future, and they will determine the future of Eruin. I believe they will give to this ancient kingdom. A glorious future, just as they have personally handed over the power to determine their own destiny in my hands."
Brando said that at the end, the words were like iron, as if they were throwing noises.
Freya looked at him in surprise. For the first time she saw such a firm and confident look on the other person. At this moment, Brando seemed to be a real king. With his words and deeds, he had already decided the future of a kingdom.
She took a deep breath and replied earnestly: "I understand, I will tell your meaning to Her Royal Highness."
Brando smiled slightly and said softly: "There is no need to be so serious, Freya, you have worked hard on this journey. Rest for two days before setting off. Seeing Miss Andrea, there may be unexpected gains. -By the way, you remember to ask Her Royal Highness to be on guard against the royal party. I suspect that the unity of all things will penetrate deeply within the royal party, but unfortunately it has never had time to deal with it."
Freya was taken aback and nodded again.
There was a sudden silence between the two.
They had fought side by side in the most critical situation of Buche, smashing a way out of desperation, the sea of fire of Ridenburg, thousands of undead, they depended on each other, waited for each other and promised.
The sprout of that promise finally grew into a towering tree today.
"Brando." Freya said suddenly.
Brando was startled and raised his head. Seeing Freya looking at her with twinkling eyes, the Valkyrie's cheeks were red and hot, she said every word: "Remember our promise?"
Brando nodded.
"Brando," Freya plucked up the courage, and said word by word: "You have fulfilled your promise. You are a real man. I lost to Roman, but it doesn't matter. I like you. Lando, do you understand? Starting from Braggs, the ideal in my heart only exists for you—"
She seemed to have exhausted all her strength to finish this sentence, and then turned her head away, her chest undulating up and down, the bloody red color extending from her cheeks to the base of her neck.
The hall was so quiet that needles could be heard.
Andrea's eyes sparkled, as if a little admired.
Delphine smiled slightly, his eyes turned around on the two of them.
"Freya..."
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said such rude words..." Freya whispered: "When I rescue Roman, I will personally plead with her, but... I am not some Valkyrie from Eruin, I still remember the one from Braggs. The naive captain of the militia? I... I will always follow you, Brando."
Brando gave a wry smile, what else could he say? This is a sacrifice without regrets, and any words he said can only be hypocritical. He just nodded silently and replied, "Thank you, Freya."
Eruin's Valkyrie was a little shy. At this moment, the pure and flawless smile on her heroic face was more precious than the wings of an angel.
Freya pressed her chest with her hand, her heart pounding like she was about to jump out.
"Scared me to death, Brando..."
She couldn't help muttering to herself.
Brando shook his head, thinking of a silly girl, a silly girl.
